What's that yellow thing in the sky?

Helloooooo

It's been a while since I've done one of these pictastic posts. In fact, it's been a while since I've done any posts at all. Rest assured that all is well, and I'm still as much a wine and chocolate addict as ever.

So. We just had a beautiful weekend. It's the first weekend this year where the temperature on both Saturday AND Sunday has been above 15 degrees and sunny. As people here are so proud of telling me "You don't live in Newfoundland because of the weather". Nope, you most definitely do not.

Anyway. Dan is in Mexico for a 2 week holiday (I KNOW!!!! - I'm still wondering how he got me to agree to that), which means that while the weeks fly by with trying to juggle work and home, the weekends can sometimes draaaaaaaaaaaaaaag on.

This weekend was no exception. It seemed to go on forever. But that was definitely a good thing.

We spent pretty much the whole weekend outside. First we did some planting. Well... I did the planting, and Kalani did the watering.

He got a little wet!

We went to find some icebergs ...

... took selfies with icebergs in the background. Erm.... oops!

Discovered what's inside a cannon (a lot of darkness and some candy wrappers, in case you were wondering)...

... and climbed mountains.

It was even warm enough to eat dinner outside... both nights *gasp* (Polar bear had already eaten).

On Sunday evening I sat on the deck with my wine, as Kalani used his hockey stick to rip the bark off some tree trunks (seriously), and I had a introspective moment when I realised... I'm content. I don't know if that's better or worse than being outright happy about everything (and realistically that's never going to happen to me - I like having something to complain about too much). For me however, it feels perfect. Content with everything just the way it is...
